Jordan Spieth Secures Win 3 Starts after Masters Collapse

Jordan Spieth Secures Win 3 Starts after Masters Collapse
Jordan Spieth has silenced critics who questioned his ability after Masters collapse by winning the Dean & Deluca Invitational this weekend in his third tournament since Augusta.

The Titleist player had a sensational Sunday carding six birdies on the back nine to end with a final round 65 and finish the tournament at 17-under-263. Spieth’s on-point short game was untouchable in helping him secure his 8th PGA Tour title as well as his first home state win.  Results the Texan feels should quell some of his detractors.

“I wasn’t sure how long it would take to get over the hurdle [of losing The Masters], of having to come into every interview room, having to listen to the crowds, talking only about what happened a month ago,” said Spieth.

Adding, “I’m 22 and we’ve won two majors. But it’s very difficult to stay present, to stay positive, when that’s happening, when those are the only questions. So in our third tournament coming back to close this one out the way we did is really, really special.”

Spieth is also confident this latest win will help in his quest to regain the World’s Number One Ranking.

“For me it’s big just to take a big step and a small chunk into [current World Number One] Jason [Day]’s lead right now,” Spieth told reporters afterward his win at Colonial.

Adding, “I knew there was a large gap. I had been told before last week that had I won last week and this week, I still wouldn’t take over, which just speaks to what Jason has been able to do.”

With Rory McIlroy winning last week at the Irish Open, the world’s top-three are now entering the packed summer schedule on form and ready to tackle the three remaining majors of 2016.  Making for an interesting few months ahead!
